Abstract: We present new records of Dryocoetes himalayensis Strohmeyer, 1908 from Central
Europe. This alien species of bark beetle, native in Himalayan region, has been
recorded in one locality in Slovakia (Brestovany, Trnava Region), two localities
in Lower Austria (Marchegg and Drösing, Weinviertel Region) and four localities
in the Podyjí National Park (Czech Republic). The species has been spreading
throughout Central Europe in recent years, and further expansion is expected.
